Jokic, Westbrook Make NBA History Again

News summary

Nikola Jokić and Russell Westbrook made NBA history by becoming the first pair of teammates to record a triple-double in the same game multiple times in a single season during the Denver Nuggets' 124-105 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Jokić had 35 points, 15 assists, and 12 rebounds, while Westbrook contributed 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists. Their unique chemistry has been pivotal for Denver, as Westbrook's leadership and Malone's trust have revitalized his career following challenging stints with the Lakers and the Clippers. The Nuggets, currently sitting fourth in the Western Conference, have been buoyed by Jokić's return from illness and Westbrook's steady performance, despite initial skepticism about their compatibility. Westbrook's freedom to play his game has allowed him to lead and energize the team, contributing to their success this season. Both players continue to climb the all-time triple-double rankings, with Westbrook leading the league and Jokić third overall.
